Subject:Need help to identify bronze dancing girl.
Posted By: dean horne Thu, Sep 22, 2011 IP: 172.18.4.221 I need help please to identify a bronze dancing girl I recently purchased. It is possibly Thai. I know neither its age or value. I would greatly appreciate any help offered. I tried to post a message earlier, but the photo files were too large. I will try to find smaller images to attach.Thank you very much....Dean A. Horne. |

Posted By: Bill H Sat, Sep 24, 2011 This figure does appear to be of Thai origin and may depict a supernatural being of Buddhistic and Hindu legend called an Apsara. I've pasted a link below to the relevant wikipedia.org page. |

Posted By: dean horne Sun, Sep 25, 2011 Thanks Bill. The man who sold me this statue said that there was also a male dancer. He sold it. I suspect the dancing girl is very old.I am hoping some one may know its value. Have a good day....Dean H. |
